One of my players wants to have a baby; what should I do?

Your question had me momentarily confused. If one of your players wanted to have a baby, you, the DM, should be the last person she should talk to. I take it that you mean that one of your players would like his or her player character to have a baby — an event that certainly requires the DM's involvement. I suggest that you handle it discreetly "offstage. " There is no reason to play out having a baby; just assign a percentage chance each game month that the mother gets pregnant. The chance should never be higher than 36%; you can increase the chance slightly if one of the parents is an orc or half-orc, and you should decrease it if one of the parents is an elf of any type. Once the mother is pregnant, you must determine how long before the child is born. The gestation period for humans is nine months. This is the proper period for most man-sized creatures. Gnomes and halflings might require shorter lengths of time. In nature, the length of gestation depends on the birth weight of the baby, not on the lifespan of the species. The mother will have to refrain from adventuring during the last half of the pregnancy, and adventuring after the birth will be difficult at best. You may decide to introduce a few random factors such as a survival percentage for mother or child, or the possibility of a miscarriage. You're on your own there — just keep the chances small, if you use them at all.

I really, really love that one:

Q: (...) how much damage do bows do?

A: None. Bows do not do damage, arrows do. However, if you hit someone with a bow, I'd say it would probably do 1-4 points of damage and thereafter render the bow completely useless for firing arrows.

LOL :D

Hmm half-orcs can't be raised because they don't have souls.
Life's tough all around.

Please do NOT post blind links (that is to say, links that have no written content included giving a description of what the link is about).

I´m not going to close this thread, but I will start closing threads that keep doing this in the future. Also, Tetsubo, I would be appreciative if you edited the OP to add some description.
